RAIL CONTROL 200

The Automated Workstation Systems: LCSS, FEU, LCSS of Local Control, LCSS of Maintenance, CTC

1520 Signal has developed the MultiRocs system that is used as Local Control and Supervisory System (LCSS) , Field Engineering Unit (FEU), LCSS of Local Control, LCSS of Maintenance, as well as Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) along with computer-based interlocking, a radio block system and relay-based interlocking (RBI).

Advantages

Technological scalability and hot standby – separate modules of the system can operate on geographically distributed nodes in hot standby.
The ergonomic user interface allows meeting the needs of any market/country.
Dynamic support of multilingual capability (ability to switch languages of the user interface without having to restart the system).
Support of distributed database that is controlled by users (alarms on the station mnemonic scheme and a list of installed brake shoes).
Support of automatons — transmission of command execution request from one automated workstation of the system to another.
Station database update in the background without interruptions of the system operation.
All events are protocoled and can be played back. There is a search engine and an event filter.
Support of fully dynamic objects (trains) with a possibility to display them in connection with their physical coordinates.
The database is stored in a text format (XML) that allows using different available tools of revision control and source code versions during development and testing.
Interface with different train control systems ATP, CTC, CTC “Dialog”, “Setun”, “Yug” Automatic Diagnostic Complex –signals and interlocking, hardware-software complex of CTC, automated dispatch control system, line point data transmission system -6, the Moscow Metro CTC, PKSS, Technical diagnostic system – Automatic locking and level crossing safety system, and position monitoring system. Each interface is made as a separate client module of the system and supports hot standby mode.

Scalability and High Flexibility

The automated workstation MultiRcos system is built on a modular client server principle that allows scaling the system easily and efficiently at small stations as well as at whole sections. All components of the automated workstation MultiRcos system are redundant including the system of data transmission and the automated workstations themselves. The system has a built-in self-diagnostics and also allows integrating data from external systems by using both a standardized SNMP protocol and other exchange protocols implemented by specialized modules.

The automated workstation MultiRcos system allows using the national languages of any country of the world. Currently, Russian, English, Azerbaijanian, Lithuanian, Latvian and Mongolian are supported. Support of a new language can be activated by changing configuration files of the system.

Mnemonic scheme of the Ugreshskaya station of Moscow Central Circle (MCC):

JOINT CONTROL OF OBJECTS

Developed concept of automatons — transmission of command execution request from one automated workplace to another — allows solving the problems of joint control of objects, as well as integration with automated systems of train control. Automatons created by system operators are displayed at the station on the operator’s mnemonic scheme, who has the right to set a relevant command, approve or cancel its execution, or switch on the automatic command execution mode.

MAIN FUNCTIONS

Display of the station mnemonic scheme.
Preparation and dialing of commands.
Display of diagnostic data on all the subsystems.
Running the protocol and database on the installed brake shoes and alarms.
